New P-40F!!

[Guppy35]

More turf but not the important turf. There were 5k plus N's that's a little unfair as it would cover all the variants.

Well if the Merlin bird what this is about then it would be the L, as a stripped down model < armor, guns ..ahlaa ... "Gyspy Rose Lee" > and produced that way. Since were going for speed I'll be 4 miles ahead of you in an hour. 

If I had my way we would be going down the series instead of up, H75 or a CU

The K has what you want as an artist! Be straight up, not RAF loyal!

Allison American Made,

I'd love a Hawk 75, Mohawk P-36 or whatever version of the radial bird.  I'm really pleased with the 40F though as that's the one that went off the carriers into North Africa.  Those 4 Groups flying Merlin birds seem really important to me.  If HTC adds the N and a Hawk 75 I think we'd have it made

My understanding is the Allison powered E model didn't have WEP but the F with the Merlin engine did. Is this correct? If so, then shouldn't the E we have now (with WEP) be changed to reflect this?

[grizz441]

cuz k is higher in the alphabet and they think its better

Darn, you beat me to it.

Even though it's true.

Question- will this be available for CVs?

No.

How is that even a question?


Nevermind.

What the "Flown off of CVs" means is delivered to the combat zone by carrier.  Spitfire Vs were also delivered to the Med. Theater by being flown of carriers at times.

[Raptor05121]

No.

Sorry, I don't sit in my underwear behind a computer screen all day reading books. A simple explanation was all I needed.

Thanks.

well, if it was flown off the carrier, its obviously a carrier bird, and therefore deserves to be a carrier bird in AH.

Duh 

Now brb, i have to go launch a surprise attack on a rook base by upping b25s from a cv.

its a question because theres a ? at the end of the sentence.


wasnt the P39 able to take off from CV's before?

Duh 

Taking off from a carrier and landing on it are two different things.  There may be examples of P-40s landing on carriers, but I doubt it.  Would have required a very strong headwind or a big rock on a rope for the pilot to toss out of the plane when he hit the deck.

Yeah, I remember Guppy's post until after I had posted that.  I then went back and edited it to answer the question.  Initially I thought you were just asking if it would be CV enabled out of the blue.

Sorry.

I know, that was just my attempt at humor.


But now the p51 DID have carrier landing trials...

Happens a lot when new planes are added, and on some maps HTC doesn't disable them from CV use. You can actually up a tank on the CV deck if it's enabled.

i remember being able to take a panther on a CV deck the first day it came out because of that. but skuzzy was in the arena and ruined the fun after 4 minutes of it being enabled.

[Banshee7]

Has it been that long since we got the P-39?

- oldman

AH has had the P-39 for a while.  It was added while I was still playing, and I think the last time I played was last March.

Didnt it get added in 07-08?

Thought it was on the same voting poll as the b25. came down to ether the b25 or the p39, with the b25 winning.
